I saw this kid riding his tricycle all by himself. I looked around and there was nobody else in sight. He definitely didn't look old enough to be by himself, probably kindergarten age or something. I then heard a woman yelling and realized she was looking for her son, so I shouted out to her. She was grateful and I told her to be more careful.
This just got me thinking, if you were a parent, would you keep your kid on a leash (literally and metaphorically)? And how old would your kid have to be before you let them go out on their own?
I'd probably keep a really close eye for as long as I can, but without hindering my kid's need to explore. As for the age, I'd say maybe 23. Even then, I'd stick a GPS on him/her.

And after eighteen, their an adult. I feel like it'd be wrong to try and control any aspect of their life after that.
I CAN'T intervene. I can object, but they're an adult and LEGALLY they get to make they're own choices. I mean, I'll no longer be able to send her to her room, or anything. So there is only so much you CAN do.
But yes, I would be a totally unfit mother (and unfit mother??? redundant to the extreme.) Which is why I'm opting to never have kids if at all possible.
no point in letting them get used to childhood privileges
They aren't nearly as expensive as people make it sound...

Yeah, because $125k to $250k isn't that expensive.
If it's a girl lol.
Same goes goes for if I have a daughter, but she wouldn't be allowed to leave the house unless she was wearing one of these:
Also, I'd start feeding her a bunch of lesbian and anti-nigger propaganda from a very young age.
Now devide that by 18, take into account that $50k of that is assuming you're buying BRAND NEW clothes every year, BRAND NEW toys all the time, et cetera, and tell me what you come up with. Children are cheaper than the bitch they come out of. At least the government will assist you in paying for your child.
My kid will have nice things because I have money and I care.
Sucks to be your little negroid doesn't it?
By your logic all kids should be home schooled.
Not really I just think kids under the age of say 11 should be more supervised than say a teenager. I am not saying lock them all up but just letting them wander all over the place seems stupid..
